The Road Through Chaos

The book continues the publication of the works of Mikhail Ancharov, which began in 2019. In fact, all of Mikhail Ancharov's творчество, writer, poet, performer of his songs, is dedicated to creativity. Creativity as a phenomenon. Creativity as art. According to Ancharov, any person, whether they have only three classes of education, or even illiterate, whether they are engaged in constructing atomic ships or trading brooms in the market, carries within them a creative seed. The question is whether the person will allow this seed to sprout and whether they will protect the budding shoot until the tree bears fruit.

The restless Ancharov heroes - the romantic engineer Sapozhnikov, the inventor of the eternal engine and much more; Viktor Gromoboev, who can control the weather and calls himself Pan, the god of natural inspiration and guide on the pedestrian path; Peter the First Alekseyevich Zotov, who established a connection between the most important categories of being (‘Without understanding what art is, you cannot understand what Good is and what Evil is’) - all of them, and not only they, are heroes of the novels, stories, and tales of Mikhail Ancharov, collected in this volume, who demonstrate through lively examples that creativity is not just the work of hands using a brush, pencil, chisel, fingers tapping on the keys of a typewriter or piano. It is primarily a mysterious work of the soul and heart, no matter how pretentious and outdated this may sound to some today.

Some of the works in the collection are published in book form for the first time. For all fans of Mikhail Ancharov's творчество and connoisseurs of good literature.
